Myriad Realms Summoning System

Although the palace where Xiao Chen is now is the secret room where Xiao Longtu practices, there is no trace of any practice in this palace. Instead, it is empty. Apart from the table, incense burner and portrait, there is nothing else.

Xiao Longtu came before the portrait, lit a stick of incense, and placed it in the incense burner. He then bowed respectfully three times before turning to Xiao Chen behind him and saying, "Sir, do you know who this person is?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the person in the portrait. He saw that the portrait was a handsome young man, no more than thirty years old. The man wore a crown with tassels, wore a golden imperial robe, and held a magic sword in his hand. He looked very majestic.

For some reason, the moment Shen Yu saw the portrait, he felt a sense of familiarity.

At this moment, Xiao Longtu's voice rang in Xiao Chen's ears again: "Young Master, do you think the person in this painting is familiar?"

Xiao Chen came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Longtu didn't turn around. He put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with nostalgia. After a while, he said, "The person in this painting is my Xiao family's ancestor, my grandfather, the founding emperor of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, named Xiao Jiu."

Xiao Jiu, the founding emperor of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, the name of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty also comes from this.

Xiao Jiu back then could be said to be the most legendary figure in the Qingluo Continent. At that time, the Qingluo Continent did not have the current ten major forces. All the sects were suppressed by the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and had no chance to breathe.

Xiao Jiuxiong is a man of great talent and strategy. With many powerful men under his command, he intends to unify the entire Qingluo Continent. Xiao Jiu's strength is unrivaled in the continent, which makes their plan go extremely smoothly. Nearly 90% of the territory of Qingluo Continent is occupied by them.

But just when they were about to complete this achievement, a huge change suddenly occurred, and no one knew the inside story. The powerful Xiao Jiu also disappeared in that change, and his civil and military officials were either killed or injured.

From then on, the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty began to decline. Because of Xiao Jiu's sudden disappearance and the loss of countless powerful people within the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, those who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty began to resist.

The severely damaged Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty was soon defeated under the siege of major forces on the continent. The battle lasted for nearly five million years. Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty lost a large amount of territory, and its strong men died in the battle. In the end, it was left to survive in a corner.

But even so, the newly emerging forces in Qingluo Continent were not willing to let the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty go.

They knew very well how terrifying the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty was, and they were deeply afraid of this powerful dynasty. If they did not completely destroy this dynasty, no one could guarantee that the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty would not rise again in the future and seek revenge on them.

There are also rumors that the reason why the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty is so powerful is because the Xiao family possesses an incomparable treasure. After Xiao Jiu disappeared, this treasure remained in the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. Whoever can obtain this treasure can rule the Qingluo Continent.

The fear of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and the greed for the mysterious treasures led countless forces to launch a final siege against the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty.

At this moment, the heir of Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, the young genius Xiao Longtu, holding a mysterious sword, killed all the warriors who invaded Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, and instantly shocked all the forces in Qingluo Continent.

From then on, out of fear of Xiao Longtu, all major forces reluctantly gave up the encirclement and suppression of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. The Qingluo Continent entered an era of competition for hegemony among heroes, and eventually the current situation of the Ten Heroes of Qingluo emerged.

Of course, these are things that everyone in Qingluo Continent knows, and they are no secret to Xiao Chen.

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Jiu, the founding emperor of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, was so young. Of course, what surprised him the most was why he was so familiar with Xiao Jiu's portrait.

Could it be that I have some relationship with this Xiao Jiu?

The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Hadn't there been such an example before?

Who would have thought that the famous Emperor Luo Sheng of Tianluo Continent had so many connections with himself, and was actually a clone left by himself. Maybe this Xiao Jiu and Emperor Luo Sheng had the same origin.

At this time, Xiao Longtu spoke again: "Mr. Xiao Chen, do you know the secret that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Xiao family?"

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that the secret Xiao Longtu mentioned might be related to him, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "After all, I am just an outsider. Isn't it inappropriate to tell me the secrets of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Longtu finally turned around and looked at Xiao Chen seriously, "What if I say this secret is related to you?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally stopped playing dumb. He asked calmly, "If you're willing to talk, I can listen."

Xiao Longtu nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao Chen, you may have heard the rumors that our Xiao family's ancestor disappeared mysteriously, but that's not the case. He didn't disappear, but died from his injuries."

Xiao Chen responded, "I've heard this before, and many people have speculated the same thing. But I don't quite understand how someone as powerful as him could have been injured so badly that he died."

Xiao Longtu smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Xiao Chen. Listen to me slowly and I will answer all your questions one by one."

"Even we, the descendants of the Xiao family, don't know where our ancestor Xiao Jiu came from. He never told us about it, and there's no record of it in the ancient books he left behind. We only know that from the moment he appeared on the Qingluo Continent, he had already revealed his invincibility. At that time, there were still powerful people in the Divine Wandering Realm on the Qingluo Continent, but no one could match him.

When I was young, I followed him for a period of time. At that time, I asked him where the Xiao family originated, but he did not tell me. He just told me meaningfully that the Xiao family's roots were not in Qingluo Continent. The reason why he stayed in Qingluo and established the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty was to wait for someone, someone who was extremely important to him.

I asked him who that person was, but he didn't tell me. But at that moment, I felt that my grandfather was very lonely. The man who roamed the Qingluo Continent and was invincible also had an unknown side. After that, I never asked my grandfather this question again, because I felt that this question would evoke his sorrow, and I couldn't bear to ask.

Later, a group of powerful and mysterious people appeared in Qingluo Continent. They went straight to the imperial capital of Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and threatened the lives of all the disciples of Xiao family. My grandfather, who was fighting outside, rushed back after hearing the news and started a desperate battle with that group of people. Until now, I still don’t know the reason for that battle and where those people came from. I only know that those people are very strong.

It was during this battle that Grandpa was seriously injured and eventually died.”
